q: what is scrip?
A: Traditional (paper) "Scrip" is simply another name for "Gift Certificates." If you have ever used a gift certificate, then you've used Scrip. Scrip can be used to purchase anything, from groceries, fuel, clothing, toys and cosmetics, to entertainment, electronics, or home improvement items.
When you buy SCRIP through ISI, the merchants give ISI a percentage of your purchase. So if you buy $50 worth of SCRIP, you get $50 worth of gift certificates at the merchants of your choice, and the merchants give ISI a percentage - usually between 3 and 15 percent.
Q: How is scrip used?
A: Just like cash. This means that you just present your SCRIP gift certificate for payment at the register without any restrictions.

Q: What can the earning potential of our school be?
A: If 200 families each purchase $75 of grocery Scrip (4% discount) each week for 9 months of school and voluntarily allocate their rebate to ISI, they would generate $600 weekly as a charitable donation to ISI which is tax deductible...or $2,400 monthly, or $21,600 yearly for the school! Just for buying groceries!
If the same 200 families also purchased additional consumables totaling $125 per family - things such as clothing, books, gifts, etc. - also at an average of about 5% rebate which they voluntarily allocate to ISI, they would generate an additional $1,250 a week as a charitable donation to ISI which is tax deductible...or $5,000 monthly, or $45,000 for 9 months!
Q: Can other members of my family or friends purchase Scrip through our program?
A: Absolutely! We encourage you to extend this program to grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Just add their purchase to your order or have them sign-up at: www.shopwithscrip.com and indicate the ISI Family Code: 8E15D6LE15229.
